^.Cuero Scouts Victims Of
Strange New Flu Virus
George Tinker, State Safe-
ty Chairman of the Travel-
ers Protective Association
who has been a guest Town
Talk columnist on a couple
of occasions, has prepared
another article especially
for The Record, which we
are glad to present, for we
think It timely.
“I will be In Cuero on Au-
gust 8th and will drop In to
thank you personally," he
commented.
His article Is on “speed’’|
and we think It worth your
time reading.
